County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable lead alloy fragment of a Post Medieval to Modern toy gun. The object is triangular in plan with curving sides and a flattened point. The point end is closed but the opposite end is open and was probably attached to the wooden section of the toy gun. Both faces have moulded decoration showing what appears to be leaves and/or flowers within a border of raised lines. There is a lobed knop projecting down from one of the sides. It is likely to be the butt from a toy gun. It measures 52.4mm in length, 26.7mm in width, 11.8mm in thickness and weighs 30.4g.

Medieval lead alloy spoon knop and part of the stem. The bowl is missing and the stem broken across the width. The stem is bent at the break. The stem has three raised concentric bands around the base of the knop which flares out to a central line before tapering back to the width of the stem which terminates in a rounded knop. It measures 46.5mm in length, 10.3mm in width and 6.9mm in thickness. The knop is a possible proto-acorn style and possibly a variation of a Homer type 'f' which is dated to the 14th Century.

Medieval copper alloy buckle with integral plate. The frame is rectangular with a rounded collar on one side from which the integral plate projects. The plate is rectangular in plan and widens slightly in the centre. There is a circular hole in the centre of the collar where it meets the frame. This is likely to have been for a rivet. The pin is missing. It measures 32.9mm in length, 12.6mm in width, 5.2mm in thickness and weighs 3.11g.
Whitehead (2003; 34) illustrates a similar example with a more rounded frame in number 193.

A cast copper alloy leg from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. The leg appears trapezoid shaped in cross section with a flat front and rounded back. The leg terminates in an outward facing foot. The front of the leg has a raised central rib running down the lengh. It measures 86.1mm in length, 52.9mm in width and 25.0mm in thickness.
Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) do not record an example identical to this but it is perhaps most similar to their Type 'a' which was widespread in the Medieval period with examples known into the early 17th century.

A corroded cast lead object - possibly a 'homemade' Roman weight. The object is broadly teardrop shaped with a rounded end. It tapers towards the other end which features a crude transverse groove, possibly for suspension. One surface is domed while the other is flat; the object has a semicircular cross-section. The surface is now a light-grey/white colour with numerous scratches and dents. This object's current mass bears no clear relationship to the Roman weight-system, but was found in the vicinity of Roman steelyard weights.
